The clip A, (see Fig.1 in the drawing,) is composed of two thin crescent-shaped metallic plates, soldered or joined at the bow of the crescent, leaving the horns free or separate to admit a card between them. Said clip is shown in Fig. 1 holding-a card. The clamp B is a'narrow metallic plate, with one end fastened to the front of the clip, doubling and embracing the clip on both sides at the bow, as shown in drawing, Fig. 1. The shape of said clamp is seen in Fig. 2. The thumb-screw 0 goes through the clip at the bow and that part of the clamp embracing the clip, and thus plates joined at the bow, and having the horns free or separated to receive the ticket, a clamp, B, consisting of a narrow metallic plate donbled, and embracing the clip on both sides at the bow, and a thumb-screw, O, which passes through the clamp and clip at the bow, and thus bears against the side of a box or basket, the whole being constructed and combined substantially as described.
